Date & time properties

Date properties store points in time. Use Date for a single timestamp (created, due, closed), and Time for a time of day with no calendar date attached. To model a span, use two Date properties, a start and an end. Views that read a range, like the Timeline and Calendar blocks, take a start property and an end property rather than a single range field. Storing temporal data with a date type (rather than as text) is what lets Custral sort chronologically, filter by relative ranges (“in the last 7 days”), and drive time-based automations and reminders.
